Mazda Protégé MP3

2001 Los Angeles Auto Show

The Internet's infamous Napster MP3 site may be nearing forced extinction -- to the dismayed cries of music hipsters everywhere -- but that hasn't stopped Mazda from readying this cool, music-friendly Protégé MP3 edition (the name derives from the car's MP3-capable Kenwood audio system). Due for limited release in March (Mazda will build only 1500), the MP3 will feature a performance-tuned suspension, an aggressive body kit, a standard five-speed manual transmission, and -- best of all -- a 140-horsepower, twin-cam 2.0-liter engine that should ensure that this ride's speakers aren't the only components that rock.
